Movie Master

Lost in Translation is a well-known work. This low-cost film costing four million US dollars was recognized by many critical film critics after it was released. It won the best award at the 76th Oscar Four nominations including film, best director, best actor, and best original screenplay not only made Sofia-Coppola the third woman in film history to be nominated for best director, but also made She took home the best original screenplay statuette.

Lost in Translation is undoubtedly an excellent and excellent work, and it has achieved great success, but compared to the work itself, the huge network of people behind it is the real exciting place, all because of one Last Name: Coppola!

Sophia, the director of Lost in Translation, is Francis-Ford-Coppola (Francis-Ford-Coppola). This great director who directed The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and General Patton not only represents The top level of the golden age; and the entire Coppola family permeates all aspects of the American entertainment industry, and is jokingly called the first family of Hollywood.

If things are as Lance speculated, and Ryan attended today's funeral for Lost in Translation, then everything is logical. Lost in Translation is already an excellent work, and the strong network represented by the Coppola surname is even more heartwarming.

However, if it is really Lost in Translation, then the fire that Lance just lit just now is definitely a raging fire. Because Sophia's biggest insistence on this work is: to shoot on-site in Tokyo!

The inspiration for Lost in Translation comes from Sophia's travels in Tokyo when she was in her twenties. That experience gave her a lot of emotion. At the same time, she found that in an unfamiliar environment, it is easy to fall into the inspection and thinking of life at midnight. Thus, this excellent script was born.

It can be said that Tokyo is the root of the birth of this film. Even with limited production costs, Sophia insisted on completing the on-site shooting in Tokyo.

If Ryan objected to Sophia's shooting in Tokyo, or even raised an objection, it is very likely that this cooperation will be in crisis. Once Ryan misses the cooperation of Lost in Translation and the cooperation of Warner Bros., this is the result that Lance most hopes to appear.

The duel between him and Ryan has just begun!

After leaving Ryan and Barry, Lance did not return to his position, because he just saw Sophia's figure - which also made the accuracy of Lance's speculation soar. In a blink of an eye, Lance had a plan in mind, and he hoped to seize this opportunity and become the producer of Lost in Translation!

Although Lance had teased Barry and Ryan just now, he clearly knew that there was bound to be a new confrontation between these two smart people, especially if Barry was likely to give up, because Barry had always been at the helm of Warner Bros. He is planning the company's development with the principle of blockbusters first; but there are too many uncertainties, he can only passively wait for the negotiation between Barry and Ryan, and passively wait for the development of the situation.

But he didn't like this. He decided to take the initiative to see if he could pull out his teeth, snatch Lost in Translation back, take the initiative in his own hands, and turn Ryan's chance into his own—even if he was right for Ryan. En's guess is wrong, Lost in Translation can also be a good opportunity for him to make a comeback.

Lance stood there, stupefied for a moment, as if suddenly lost, his left hand involuntarily clenched, his thumb resting on the side of his index finger, the slender fingers like bamboo joints The side was gently rubbed, and the fine grains brought a touch of warmth, which made Lance refocus his attention. The coffin that was not far away broke into sight, lying quietly and silently among the lush greenery. At this moment, he and Karel are also facing death, but the difference is that Karel will be buried underground, and he has the opportunity to start again.

He exhaled lightly, tidied his suit carefully, and walked in the direction of Sophia with a leisurely pace.

Sophia wore a black dress today. There was no extra design. It was just the most common dress. It was inconspicuous in the dark crowd, and her existence would be ignored inadvertently. At this time, Sophia was standing quietly under the shade of a tree diagonally behind, with her hands hanging casually by her side, quietly watching the coffin in front of her, her eyes hidden in the shadow of her eyelashes, subtly concealing She expressed all her emotions, but the lightly pursed lips revealed the loneliness in her heart at the moment.

Lance took his steps lightly, walked to Sophia's side quietly, then put his hands respectfully in front of him, and quietly cast his eyes on the coffin in front of him, as if he was just an ordinary person who came to mourn Karel , has nothing to do with Sofia.

Sophia didn't seem to notice Lance's arrival at all, she didn't even glance over from the corner of her eyes, she was still immersed in her own world motionless.

Lance was not in a hurry, he just stood beside him quietly, enjoying a moment of tranquility. The low noises around made the silence in this corner more and more peaceful, as if the sadness that had turned into reality could be touched in the air. Sophia finally walked out of her own world, and noticed the person beside her who was in the same trap as herself. The mourning man, which made her raise her gaze, and took a few more glances at the man. The perfect facial outline outlined between the light and shadow made her gaze stop.

The man seemed to have noticed Sophia's hot gaze, turned his head, and showed her a shallow smile, which made Sophia avoid her eyes in a bit of embarrassment, and her cheeks were slightly hot. So, how did you and Mr. Reiz know each other? The man's voice came, but Sophia was a little caught off guard. She didn't expect the man's first words to be like this, so she couldn't help raising her voice, what?

The man didn't seem to care about her faux pas at all, with a gentleman's smile still on the corner of his mouth, I just feel like this is your condolence. So I'm curious, how did you and Mr. Reiz know each other? The man's voice is as mellow as red wine, elegant and restrained, polite and gentlemanly, I once took Mr. Reiz's class at Cambridge University, and I still have a deep impression on the homework of the 'Film Editing Skills' class.

Sophia was amused by the slight smile in the man's voice, and a faint smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, So, is the grade good or bad?

Lance narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a sly and alert smile, You're trying to avoid my question.

Sophia's smile burst out in an instant, but it disappeared quickly, and the loneliness and loneliness in her eyes reappeared, No, I have never met Mr. Karel-Ritz. It is precisely because I have never met Mr. But, that's why I regret it even more, it's a pity that we haven't met each other.

Looking at Sophia's expression, Lance knew that he guessed it right!

Sophia is a person who easily falls into her own world, very sensitive and fragile, which also makes the shots of her movies always have a special touch. The story of Lost in Translation actually casts Sophia's own shadow, and the heroine's sadness of being neglected by her husband is her own portrayal. After creating Lost in Translation, the marriage of the two gradually came to an end. When the movie was released, the two officially signed to end the marriage.

To put it simply, Lost in Translation is actually about Sofia herself.

Therefore, when Lance came over just now, he didn't speak rashly, nor did he express his position in a hurry, but chose a roundabout method. It now appears that it has worked.

Lance lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a confused and lost tone, Many times, people are like this, and they can only wake up after they miss it. It feels like standing at a crossroads in a foreign country. , looking at the endless stream of traffic and surging crowds, but unable to find a place to stand, it seems that it is so difficult to even take a single step, the feeling of loss, loneliness, and bewilderment swept over in an instant, You can’t even tell yourself what it’s like, it’s just an emotion, and it’s all so crazy, it’s torturing you.”

Sophia raised her head in amazement, she couldn't see the man's face clearly in the light and shadow, she could only vaguely see the eyes under the thick eyebrows, like the foggy Tianchi on the top of the mountain, the thrilling blue was covered by Hidden in that layer of mist, it burst out with even brighter light.

The sympathetic confusion hit Sophia's heart hard. She just felt that she was in the streets of Tokyo now, and the turbulent and noisy crowds were isolated. She was Charlotte, and he was Bob. Fascinating and weird, Sophia said, which made him turn his head, his eyes filled with puzzlement, I mean, this feeling is fascinating and weird, and it can't be described in words, so naturally let yourself go into it carefully. taste.

Lance didn't speak, but just twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a bitter smile, then fainted in relief, turned his eyes and looked at the coffin quietly placed at the far end of his sight again. Sophia couldn't help being infected with this emotion, and followed Lance's line of sight.

In the blink of an eye, the two fell into silence again, but this time there was an indescribable tacit understanding flowing, as if the sound of the beating heart could be faintly heard, charming and weird.

Hey, you're here! Oh, you're here too! A cheerful voice broke the silence, it was Ryan.
